Chapter 233 Direction of the Rain Country
…………………………………………
Ame Hidden Village, a ninja village in the Japanese manga "Naruto" and its derivative works, was founded by Sansho Hanzo. The climate of Yuyin Village is in the rainy season all year round, and the rainwater flows into the inland lake surrounding Yuyin Village.
After the civil war in Amegakure Village, the Hanzo regime was replaced by Payne (led by Nagato, the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization), and it also became the stronghold of the "Akatsuki" organization. After Nagato's death, his partner Konan continued to lead the Hidden Rain Village and was committed to eliminating war through peaceful means[1]. The leader of Yuyin Village after Xiaonan's death is unknown. After the Fourth Ninja War, Ame Hidden Village was invited to join the Ninja Alliance[2].

Village introduction
Amegakure Village is located at the junction of the three regions of Earth, Konoha, and Sand. It can enhance the abilities of every ninja to the limit, and has successively developed many unique moves. The village's assassination skills are very advanced, so it often accepts commissions from other countries to carry out various types of assassination missions.
Yuyin Village
The buildings in Yuyin Village are mainly made of steel, and there are also quite a few stone materials. They are erected inside and outside by many large and small steel pipes, forming a unique landscape. This is also closely related to the rainfall in Yuyin Village, so So many large pipes and sewers. Logically speaking, no one lives on the top of the tower in Yuyin Village (except for Nagato and Konan who are in the tower). The top of the tower is usually used to store the bodies of the dead, and the people may live on the lower floors.
History background
Amegakure was once at war with the Iron Country. The Iron Country samurai turned around and ran away as soon as they heard Sansho Hanzo's name. Only Mifune was left standing in front of Hanzo holding a katana. After fighting for a while, Mifune's right face was seriously injured by Hanzo, and the sword was also hit by Hanzo's chain. break. After Mifune fell to the ground, Hanzo told Mifune: "The end of a person is not death, but when he loses his faith. Even if you die on the spot, it is not a dull knife. I will declare you to the world as a hero." Mifune wanted to exchange his own death for Hanzo's promise not to kill his companions. Hanzo admired Mifune's spirit of sacrificing himself to protect his companions, so he gave the antidote to Mifune, and Mifune inherited this will. [22][23]
Yuyin Village
During the Second Ninja War, when Amegakure and Sunagakure were fighting, Hanzo tried to use poison gas to clean up the war, but all the poison released by the Sansho Fish was decrypted by Chiyo, who also discovered the shortcoming that it takes five minutes for the Sansho Fish to replenish the poison gas. , which gave Hanzo a great headache. Therefore, Hanzo called Chiyo the "puppet old woman" and Chiyo called Hanzo the "old man with a snorkel."
Yuyin Village
In the Second Ninja World War, when Amegakure and Konoha were fighting, Hanzo channeled Sansho Uoibushi to release a large-scale poison, causing a large number of Konoha ninjas to fall. In the end, only Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochi were left on the battlefield. Maru and the three still persisted, and Hanzo appreciated them very much, so he gave them the title of "Konoha Sannin". Although Hanzo won some parts of the battle, on the whole, the Ame Hidden Village was defeated; although Konoha nominally won the battle, it was never able to defeat Sansho Hanzo.
After the war, many ninjas and residents were on the verge of starvation. In order to search for food resources, two jonins from Konoha entered Nagato's home and killed Nagato's parents, causing Nagato to go on a rampage with the power of his reincarnation eye. Those ninjas died. Later, Nagato met Yahiko and Konan, who were also orphaned in this war. The three of them survived by stealing. Later, they met the Sannin of Konoha who had not yet returned home. Jiraiya decided to stay in Amegakure and accept the three as disciples.
After the Second Ninja World War, the Hanzo regime adopted a relatively closed-door policy to reduce the influence of surrounding countries, but Amegakure Village would still send ninjas to participate in the Chunin Examination [3].
The first rise of the "Akatsuki" organization
During the Third Ninja World War, the lobbying organization "Akatsuki", which was committed to promoting a truce agreement among the three countries of Earth, Wind and Fire as soon as possible, emerged in Amegakure Village. After Hanzo judged that the "Akatsuki" organization was a threat to the regime, he publicly It was proposed that "Akatsuki", as the official negotiating body of the Amegakure Village, sign a contract with the Amegakure Village agency, and invite the Hidden Leaf Village's secret agency "Root" to jointly strangle him at the signing site. Yahiko, the leader of the "Akatsuki" organization, and many Amegakure Village ninjas were killed in this incident. The organization was taken over by Nagato, who had greatly changed his thinking, and no longer conducted public activities [4].
Civil War in Yuyin Village
A few years later, with a horizontal mark on the ninja's forehead as a symbol, the forces led by the ninja calling himself "Pen" launched a civil war in the Ame Hidden Village. In this war, Hanzo's army was defeated, Hanzo himself was killed and After being exterminated, a sign of rest came [5].
Payne regime
Payne used his own powerful strength to defeat Hanzo's forces with less and more, and then became the spiritual symbol "god" of Amegakure Village. Payne maintains order in the village with the terrorism of Hanzo's genocide (that is, people who are not biased towards Hanzo will not be obliterated by Payne, and the remaining residents of Amegakure Village will be protected by Payne). Payne did not have direct contact with the ninjas in the village but sent Konan as an "angel" to deliver orders from the ninja village organization. Payne made his presence known to the villagers in the form of "No More Rain on Sundays."
Ame Hidden Village continues to implement a closed-door policy and does not announce the end of the civil war, Pain's seizure of power, or the death of Hanzo to the outside world [5]. This makes Yuyin Village an ideal base for the mercenary organization "Akatsuki", and many of the organization's activities are carried out secretly here.
Raingakure-Konoha War
Konoha Village ninja Jiraiya got the core of the "Akatsuki" organization and sneaked into the Rain Hidden Village for the purpose of obtaining intelligence[6]. After the situation was exposed, he fought with Konan[7] and Pain[8]. Defeated and killed [9]. But before his death, Jiraiya passed on a large amount of information about Amegakure to Konoha[10], which put Pain at a disadvantage in his battle to obtain the Nine-Tails and invade Konoha (although Pain destroyed Konoha Village[10] 11]) and exposed Nagato's location[12]. After communicating with Naruto who came to talk, Nagato chose to give up his ideas of terrorism and sacrificed himself to resurrect some of the dead as atonement [1]. Afterwards, Xiaonan took over Pain's position as the leader of Amegakure and terminated the relationship between Amegakure Village and "Akatsuki" [1].
The Fourth Ninja War
On the eve of the war, Uchiha Obito invaded the Hidden Rain Village[13], and Konan was killed after fighting with him[14]. This war did not extend to Yuyin Village.
After the Fourth Ninja War, Amegakure Village was invited to join the Ninja Alliance[2].
feature
village sign
The village logo of Uyin Village is four vertical lines symbolizing rain. After the Paine regime, the village logo of Amegakure Village added horizontal lines passing through four vertical lines to symbolize the break with the old Amegakure Village [15] (this practice also extended to the rebellious ninja of the "Akatsuki" organization).
Ninja Village Construction
Yuyin Village has a large number of tower-shaped buildings and is equipped with a developed drainage pipe system, which proves that Yuyin Village has a reasonable level of industrialization.
ninja
The ninjas of Amegakure Village are said to be "small-minded" [16]. Amegakure Village focuses on exploring the talents of individual ninjas, so it has also produced many original ninjutsus [17]. The ninjas of Amegakure Village are good at assassination missions and are therefore regarded as important resources by many countries [18].
A common characteristic of Amegakure ninjas is the wearing of breathing masks.
policy
The Amegakure Village has adopted a strict border policy since Hanzo came to power. Even matters related to the Chunin Examination require that the entry and exit of ninjas be subject to strict review and surveillance [3]. In the Hanzo era, Amegakure and other ninja villages had a loose, non-aligned relationship. Hanzo regarded the five major powers as enemies [19], but did not launch aggression.
Leader introduction
Hanzo
Hanzo is called "demigod" and "Sanshouyu Hanzo" by the ninjas in the ninja world. He is powerful and cautious in tactics. He possesses body modification that can release poison, refined sickle-locking martial arts, powerful fire escape and psychic skills!
Sansho Fish Hanzo
In his early years, Hanzo had a longing for "peace" and dreamed of eliminating war through the unification of the five major countries. But after he realized that ninjas and ninjutsu would only bring endless war, he slowly accumulated strength. Obtained the position of leader of Yuyin Village, but this made him too obsessed with his own life and status. He gradually became unapproachable, placed himself in a security environment with no blind spots in the sky, and did not hesitate to violate his early life. The dream must also eliminate possible threats.
Although Hanzo regards the five major countries as his enemies, he is not afraid of using their power. He used Danzo's ANBU to eliminate the threat for himself, and Danzo also proposed to Hanzo that Hanzo would help Danzo become Hokage [4] (but Hanzo did not survive until that time).
In the village where he was born, there was a highly poisonous black pepper fish. After the fish died, the poison sac was implanted in the young Hanzo's body, so Hanzo became resistant to the poison. Whenever he breathes, the people around him will inhale the poisonous gas, so everyone around him is afraid of the young Hanzo. In order not to disturb others, Hanzo was forced to wear a mask and breathe through his mouth instead. Hanzo cannot easily remove his mask, although that would give him an advantage in battle. But if the poison sac in his abdomen ruptures during the battle, even Hanzo will be unable to resist the poison of the Sansho Fish and become incapacitated [20]. In battle, he will only remove his mask for the weak who don't want to fight and directly exhale poisonous gas to defeat the opponent. When fighting with the strong, he will wear the mask to avoid the exposure of the above-mentioned weaknesses. This is also his respect for the strong.
Hanzo respects opponents who have strong beliefs. He believes that although beliefs are invisible, they can be displayed through death. He likes to spread stories about his respected opponents, believing that these beliefs can be passed on after death. If he thinks his opponent still has potential, he will also choose to keep his opponent alive. After being reincarnated and resurrected by the dirt, he fought against his former subordinate Mifune. After being defeated by Mifune, he surrendered his faith to Mifune. Mifune made up for Hanzo's grave that Hanzo did not get in Amegakure Village[21].
Nagato
Nagato grew up in a family descended from the humble Uzumaki clan in Hidden Rain Village. In his early years, Madara Uchiha secretly implanted his own reincarnation eye, and his parents were killed by Konoha ninjas. After surviving several fatal threats in a difficult living environment, he met Yahiko and Konan, who were also war orphans, and established a close bond with the two. He was taught ninjutsu by Jiraiya and became a ninja. He valued his companions very much and supported Yahiko's dream of "bringing peace to the ninja world". However, after Yahiko was killed by Hanzo, he turned to utilitarian terrorism and tried to use powerful force to force the world to follow peace.
After breaking with Amegakure, Nagato regarded himself as a "god" above humans and gave up on sensing and soothing pain. Instead, he used creating pain as a tool to guide people to choose peace.
The use of the Samsara Eye places a heavy burden on the body, and his legs were burned while trying to save Konan during his first battle with Hanzo. Since then, he has been using walking machines as a means of mobility. After summoning the Heretic Golem, his body became extremely thin [15].
Nagato created the title "Pain (Pain)", used the pupil technique of the Rinnegan to manipulate six corpses as carriers of the power of the Rinnegan and a form of combat, and gave the strongest "Heavenly Path" power to Yahiko's corpse. Before the battle with Naruto, Nagato had never lost in any battle due to his clever concealment of the operating mechanism of the Rinnegan and his grasp of the rhythm of the release of the Six Paths power.
After the invasion of Konoha, Nagato talked with Naruto and was finally moved by Naruto's beliefs. He gave up the idea of terrorism and sacrificed himself to revive the life of Shiro who died in the invasion as atonement[1].
Nagato cleverly used the powerful combat capability of the "Akatsuki" organization as a bargaining chip with various countries, which made several countries tend to hire the "Akatsuki" who could fight one against a hundred instead of relying on their own trained ninjas to fight in battles or other missions. While weakening its soft power, he was also advancing the plan to capture the tailed beasts of various countries step by step. This made the "Akatsuki" organization gradually become a huge threat under his leadership, and also accelerated the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War.
Konan
Konan is one of the founders of the Akatsuki organization and the only female member of the Akatsuki organization in the later period. She is an "angel" who spreads the will of Pain in the Hidden Rain Village. After the war of invading Konoha, she was moved by Naruto's belief and left the Akatsuki. She picked up the confidence to promote world peace through non-war means and continued to lead the Hidden Rain Village. On the eve of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konan was killed by Uchiha Obito in order to protect the Samsara Eye of Nagato's body.
Konan
Yahiko
A war orphan from the Hidden Rain Village during the Second Shinobi World War, he dreamed of "climbing to the top of the world" to call on people to feel pain and move towards peace. After meeting Konan and Nagato, he followed Jiraiya to learn ninjutsu; after becoming a master, he founded the Akatsuki as a bridge to promote peace; under Hanzo's conspiracy, he chose to commit suicide and entrusted his ideals to his close friend Nagato. Although Yahiko died young, he is remembered by many people.
